Sometimes a simple observation technique can deliver the greatest feeling of relief from any stress, worry or unhappiness that you may be experiencing. It can also offer some clarity you are looking for if faced with an important decision. You can try this technique anytime of day, whenever you think of it:

Look around at your life and see everything you do and feel, every encounter you have, as if it is part of a theatrical play that you are starring in. Take some time to observe your set, performances, dialogue, cast and audience.

This technique allows you to see your life from the outside as if you are an observer on the sidelines. You can learn a lot as long as you are careful not to analyze or judge what you see. Just have some curiosity and enjoy seeing your life from a new perspective.

You might be able to get a sense for how your lines of dialogue fit in to make the whole show happen.

Now, just as you are really seeing your life like you've never seen it before, imagine that you turn around and somebody hands you a certificate of ownership over the entire production. That means you can come in anytime to be the director and make changes to the performance, the set, the music, the cast, the audience, the venue, etc.

This piece of paper helps you realize that you are never stuck with the same old script that just repeats. And it also reminds you that you have many, many choices inside any given situation. For example, you may be wanting to quit the play, curse the set, or ditch the leading man or lady. But what if you knew you had the power to re-script the production entirely? What would you create?

This observation technique should leave you feeling empowered, positive and creative. You are now aware that you are free to see your state of worry, indecision or unhappiness from a different, perhaps clearer, perspective. And you can take your life under your own direction.

There's nothing more you really need to do. Developing this "observation" perspective is powerful enough that your next choices will happen naturally, with more wisdom and deeper understanding.

There is nothing simpler or more powerful than observing your own life. The greater levels of awareness that you gain by doing this will naturally translate to higher levels of inner peace and happiness.
